Hey!
I'm on St John's wort, and caffine ;o)
It was more of hypothetical post, as I live in the UK and stimulants are RARELY prescribed, or so I am led to believe.
I was just wondering what a lack of motivation could be indicative of. I guess a million things.
Anyway, here is the list:
I've tried Prozac, Effexor, Celexa, Reboxetine, Wellbutrin with no success. Effexor and Celexa made me sleep too much and even more apathic than I was on before. Prozac I just went abit mental on (it was the first I tried - maybe it was alright?) , and reboxtine gave me bad acne and no periods, and wellbutrin gave me a weird rash and I couldn't stop itching.
The stimilating meds (like Prozac, wellbutrin and reboxetine) make me really anxious. I've only ever taken the 'normal' low dosages for these meds. Like 75mg for Effexor, 20mg for Celexa etc. I seem to be particulary sensitive to them!
I seem to suffer from atypical depression, with maybe ADD.
Although this is not diagonised by a pdoc.I'm getting referred to a pdoc on the NHS - although the consulation will probably will be after Christmas. I have no idea what that will be like. I might post something to see if anyone has had any luck. But then I don't want to be influenced by other peoples' negative experiences.
